Snack

When we come to someone's house between lunch and dinner to talk about something we are often served home-made buttermilk and freshly baked bread, often warm to snack while talking. It is a great snack, I really like it.

I agree, it's a very good food. Strangely, you can meet it only in Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, and some eastern european countries, but not worldwide. The same thing about white cheese called "tvorog" in russian (your hosts must have offered it to you) - eastern-european countryside variant of it is much better than just white cheese in western supermarkets.

Oh yes, cottage cheese is very popular here, they make their own and we often have it for breakfast with some sour cream. Their cottage cheese is not salty here.
